Well a dude was turtleing and after i hit his shield 3 times with my battle axe the spell went off (looked similar to force miracle except its dark) and nearly killed me. So blocking does seem to count aswel from my once in a life time experience.

When I did burg testing I tried a 100% physical shield and it wouldn't trigger off a block. If you're being hit with an elemental weapon (hollows don't use those) then it would likely go off the applicable element and count as a hit if that resistance is less than 100% (which it should be)

Reim, Grass Crest Shield is an amazing KJ accessory for exactly that reason. Every block of any type of damage is a "hit"
